about the menu
Filipino food as it is, at once recognizable and fresh, embracing the use of the best ingredients that can be found—wherever that may be in the world—whipping up best in class renditions, in our style of cooking.
While the hayop pantry list is strictly classic Filipino stalwarts and Manam-approved, the vegetables are almost decidedly seasonal and heirloom and the poultry heritage.
